WHEREAS, By act of the Legislature, the cues
ton of the division of the territory Of Dakota
on the seventh stand ard parallel is to be sub

election to be held in November next; and
WHEREAss it behooves. all, whatever their
political atfiiiation, to strive for the full politi-
cal rights and privileges of our commonwealth
and
WBEhEAs. it ia believed by many that these
can be best secured by division Of the t~erriterv
on or near the seventh standard parallel, and
the ultimate admission into the union of two
states with their rightful representatives in
both houses of congress-.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers.
as we'll as relieving the burden of
home manufacturers, Especially is
this the case with Green's August
Flower and Boschee's German Syrup.
as the reduction of thirty.six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one.
fifth more medicine in the rs cent
